Tutoring marketplace for rural secondary schools

The problem

Rural schools have one maths teacher for 200 students, and qualified tutors in cities have no reliable way to reach them.

Orbitly gives them a simple product that fixes this end to end, priced for small teams and live within a day of signing up.

Small and mid-sized organisations in our home market first.

Bottom-up: ~40k target customers at ~$1,500 a year.

What people use today

Spreadsheets and enterprise suites that are too heavy for this segment.

Why this team wins

Founders lived this problem for years and already have the first customers lined up.

Amina spent years on the customer side of this problem; Peter built the technical core at a previous company.
